I've spent the last several months researching, travelling, and studying why countries like Singapore, Netherlands, United Kingdom, Canada and Finland built some of the world's best public education systems.
One thing became clear:
Nigeria doesn't just have an education problem. We have a school management problem.
Today, I'm releasing a white paper that proposes a new way to transform our public schools, keeping them publicly owned while introducing world-class management and accountability.
This isn't about politics.
It's about giving every Nigerian child the opportunity to attend a world-class public school.
I hope this sparks one of the most important conversations our country has had about education.
Read it. Criticise it. Improve it. Share it.
If we get education right, we change Nigeria.

Listen to this young man explain the difference between a poor country and a rich country.
It was Peter Obi who first explained the concept of capital formation to me in a way that made it easy to understand.
As governor, he applied a similar approach by emphasizing savings and prudent investment
The purveyors of poverty and corruption muddled everything to look like saving was a terrible decision and investing in bond markets was a taboo.
This young man explained in details again!
